The Data Status flag is set if any of the channels have a threshold
exceeded state as true.
Note:
The
Apex Portable
comes
standard with 4 particle
channels.
The threshold registers (45xxx series) shown in Table 7-8, run in
parallel with the data registers (30xxx series). For example, data
register 30010’s corresponding threshold register would be 45010. Data
register 30016’s threshold register would be 45016.
Setting the Alarm Threshold Value
The Alarm Threshold Value is set in the low register of the channels.
Each channel has independent threshold value registers. Since any or
all channels can be enabled for alarms at any given time, each threshold
value applies to the corresponding channel. Setting a value for channel
1 as 100 will not affect channel 2 setting of, say, 500. See Table 7-9.
